Stampin’ Up! FMS296 Tuscan Vineyard

2 Comments

Hi!

My project for today is based on the challenge from Freshly Made Sketches.  I have to admit that I had not used glossy cardstock before now.  I had no idea what to do with it……You Tube to the rescue.  Just type Polished Stone in your You Tube search.  So basically this is what you do.

  1. Cut the glossy paper to the size you want.
  2. Get two cotton balls and some Rubbing Alcohol.
  3. Take one of the cotton balls and add some alcohol and ink refill drops.   I used some Elegant Eggplant (2 drops) and Powder Pink (4 drops).
  4. Add the color to the paper by dabbing the cotton ball all over the paper.
  5. Use the second cotton ball to pick up the puddles by dabbing the paper.

Pictures would be better but at least you can see it on YouTube.

Stampin' Up! Tuscan Vineyard Stampin' Up!

Stamp: Tuscan Vineyard Paper:  Elegant Eggplant, White, Powder Pink, Blushing Bride Glimmer, Glossy Paper Ink:  Black Archival, Elegant Eggplant & refill , Powder Pink & refill Accessories:  Stampin’ Dimensionals

For the Powdered Pink panel I stamped the swirl design randomly after stamping off once.

I used Black Archival ink to stamp the image from Tuscan Vineyard.  The glossy paper is somewhat slippery so be careful when stamping.  These detailed stamps are wonderful for this technique.  There are others in the catalog that will work as well.  I didn’t add a sentiment so one can be added at a later time.

Stampin’ Up! TTTC006 Bees and Honey

As I was looking over the challenge from Tic-Tac-Toe I settled on the bottom row across: Honey, Plaid, Wood-grain.  I ended up pulling out some retired stamps for this project.  As a demonstrator I should really use only current products and I do try to do that.  This is always an exception though and since I still had these stamps on hand I went for it 🙂 .

Stampin' Up! Bear Hugs Stampin' Up!

I used some of the Wood Textures DSP and the Pinewood Planks Dynamic TIEF.  You can see the texture in person but not so much in the picture.  The So Saffron bottom was embossed with the Hexagon Dynamic TIEF.  The plaid paper is retired from the Warmth & Cheer DSP.  Another retired item I used was the Crystal Effects on the Honey jar.

The challenge from Stamp Ink Paper is a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge. I chose the diagonal line bottom to top : Butterfly, Embossing, Twine.  I dry embossed the butterflies on a small white panel. The butterfly was cut out with the Move Me thinlits and I wrapped the center panel with Wisteria Wonder Baker’s Twine.
